These records and books we're in vault,

The loss of the historical record is deeply
regretted, to say nothing of the financial
record.

A studio of Art.

1t is not every city or community that
possesses gallery OF fine art free at all
times to public inspection, such as Rock
Island has. Yet, do the local people ap-
preciate this advantage? Certain, it is,
that great many do, but this is not true
of all Rasmussen, the Photographic ar
fist, does not conduc: his profession sim
ply for the pecuniary benefit he derives
from it. A visit to his gallery at the
corner of Eighteenth street and Second
avenue, readily convinces one OF this
fact. There is something besides IAN
eve for business" that induces a man to
surround himself with so much that is
rich, and tasty, and beau tiful in art. Il
shows that there is spirit of admiration
within the man for such things; that ht
delights to have these works of art about
him and to work among them. Mr.
Rasmussen's gallery is his homs
virtually. He spends the larger part o
his time there and he likes to be there
1t is the scene of the study of his life
Photographic art is to him as much of ,
pastime. as profession. He enjoys
and takes pleasure in experimenting witt
it-looking out for all the latest device
in promoting and perfecting it,
So it is that Mr. Rasmussen has bee
so eminently successful in his labor @
| JOY. His work is always the most skill
full, careful, tasty and thorough from tn
time the subject enters the operatin
room until he receives the copy of hi
photographs. Even the proof sheets

thing that will put check to the fiend-

constantly being committed in Rock ISL

when near the corner of Fifth Avenue

by q brute-a stranger to her-who was
determined upon outraging her, and he
had no hesi;aacy in stating his determin'

away from the scoundrel and rushed into
house near by, where she was protected

COTTON BUYING.
The following communication from 8
spinner appeared in the Manchester

Before the American war we cotton
spinners on getting an order would go
leisurely down to Liverpool the
next day, and buy a week or a
fortnight's stock of cotton, what
ever sizs the order for yarn
was. Not so now. 1t is rushing
to the telegraph office TO send word to
your broker to buy, not 8 weeks or g
fortnight's consumption of cotton, but
about twice as much as your order re-
quires. About the middle of the war 8
Manchester tlnancier invented the system
of what he termed buying to arrive-a
most hateful and speculative system,
which has gone on ever since end in
creases, aud has brought into the trade 9
host of spectators. 1t would have been
much better for the trade II that man hat
never been born, for his system in cor
| junction with the limited liability law,
mas gone very long way towards ruin
ing the trade, and has sent many q strug
Cling man to an untimelY grave. A Law
restricting the powers of the limited sys
ten ought to be pushed through Parlle-
ment with sll possible speed to proven
/ further mischief in the shape of mil
| building for awhile. II the trade would
consider and ponder over the evils of the
system of arrivals and futures, and maxi
up their minds to have none Of them, ou
would begin at once and buy
weekly, or at most fortnightly, and from
Liverpool only, we should soon have cot
ton 81 reasonable price and profit OF
our spinning into the bargain. The occu
patton OF the manipulators in arrival
and futures would be gone. Nothing bu
firm resolve on the part OF spinners Z
buy from hand to mouth will save tn
trade, and once more bring back prof.
to great trade which has suffered
greatly and so very long.
